Didn't make a difference for my standing in the round, but still a shame for Massa. If finishing 8th is a demonstration of the competitive advantage to be gained from running the tyres underpressure, I don't think the FIA needs to be so worried!

Looks like the only way any of us (myself, Spec or Pokerman) chasing Peter2673 have any hope is if he forgets to predict! Almost impossible to overhaul that gap in one race unless we go completely off the board and we get a wacky, wacky race.

Yeah he can't be caught now, he's coasted to the win unlike my 3 way fist fight last season

He can only mathematically guarantee himself the championship (regardless of how anyone else does) with a score of 203 or above in Abu Dhabi, but realistically I think you're right; this has been a dominant year for Peter - I expect the sheer amount of the season he's spent leading the championship may be unprecedented in this contest?

I'll likely finish somewhere near the top of the non-contenders, but I suppose considering the start I had to the season I should be happy with that - from 44th position in the championship after Spain, I'm now in 5th place with one round to go. I won Abu Dhabi last year, so my focus will be on trying to pull a 250-point prediction out of my hat and shockingly win the championship from behind!

PS: For those who are curious, in the unofficial alternate standing (tracked by F1-style points of 25 for the winner, 18 for second, etc. - ties broken by time of submission) there are only two contestants with a mathematical chance of taking the title; if Coulthard's Chin does not finish on the podium than Specdecible is champion, and if Specdecible finishes 4th or higher he's champion regardless of what anyone else does. Specdecible has won the most races in the year (3) and finished on the podium the joint-most times (4), shared with Coulthard's Chin and Sevenfest.

I'm trying to walk the line between the kind of prediction that, if it happens, could take points off Peter, and the kind that when that first kind doesn't happen, doesn't lose me too many points to those around me! So...
